Bone broth is the foundation of my cooking.It is very simple and inexpensive.I use it for soups, stews, or drink it straight with a pinch of sea salt, of course.

I started making bone broth several years ago.There is a lot of different ways of doing it.I tried a few different recipes but my all-time favorite one is from Practical Paleo.I make it about 3-4 times a month.

Simmering bones for several hours will create one of the most nutritious and healing food which I like to call liquid gold.Bone broth is considered a super-food by many.It contains minerals (calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, trace minerals), collagen, gelatin, cartilage, and amino acids (glycine, proline, arginine). Health benefits include:

Heals the GI and promotes digestion

Fights infections caused by cold and flu viruses

Reduces inflammation and joint pain

Helps with bone growth and repair

Promotes sleep and is very calming.

Supports beautiful skin, hair and nails

More recently I read an article on how bone broth is better than Botox. Since wrinkles are caused by breaking down of collagen and bone broth is a great source of easily absorbable collagen, it just might be the elixir of youth.
